| Garnering widespread critical acclaim upon its release, the debut long player from The Emperor Machine is a modern classic that contextualises elements of krautrock, disco, electro, library sounds and dub into a thoroughly idiosyncratic work of contemporary brilliance. Finding inspiration in not only the music of the 1970's but also in the equipment, production techniques and films of that period, Andy Meecham's wide lens vision is stunning in its originality and unique genius.
Joined intermittently by Roger Johns (bass), Jamie Parkes (violin) and Beebe (flute), Meecham uses his awe inspiring collection of vintage analogue synths to illicit a range of sounds and moods familiar to fans of 1970's science fiction soundtracks. Whilst tracks like the Dr. Who inspired 'The TV Extra Band' and the John Carpenter-esque 'Dying by Wits' are perfect examples of this approach, 'Expanding in Reproduction' & 'How to Build a Super Computer' take a sideways step on to the dance floor. At last, someone has made sense of the oxymoronic notion of 'retro-futurism'.  |
